Street Fighter Alpha Anthology review

One disc with more fighting than you can handle

Street Fighter Alpha 3 was the one that went off the charts - plenty of new characters were added with little regard for play balance; personality was the plan, here. This is a bold and entertaining game, and that's probably why we so recently saw it on the PSP. Unfortunately, the little additions they made to that version - like new character Ingrid - didn't make it here. On the other hand, once you play around with this compilation for awhile, you can unlock some really off-the-wall modes that fundamentally change SFA3's gameplay to mimic Capcom's other fighting game series. Hardcore fans will want to dig deep, here.
